I arrived at the firing range where my elder brother Jungkook is currently practicing his shooting. I went here to practice my skills as well but being the stubborn son that I am, I believe that carrying a gun and knowing how to use it is absolutely unnecessary.

I wore my ear defender and goggles as I position myself on the next booth beside Jungkook's. I think I can fire the gun properly but I'm not as good as my hyung. His bullets shattered the middle part of the target while mine just went everywhere because, in all honesty, I'm not interested to learn it at all.

After just one round, I immediately sat down in the waiting area and pick up my phone from my pocket. I start checking my social media accounts. I care less of the sounds when a bullet is being fired, it sounds pretty normal to me now as my father required me and my brother to practice shooting every other day.

"You better get your ass off that chair and drop that fucking phone of yours before father finds out that you're disobeying his orders again." Jungkook scowled at me as he drops his ear defenders and goggles on the table.

I did not look at him. I just keep my eyes on my phone. "He doesn't care what I do so the hell I care."

Jungkook smirked at me. "I can't say anything more about you. You are so hard-headed."

"Is this your new girlfriend?" I asked showing him my phone just to change the topic.

Jungkook shakes his head. "No. Just a friend."

"With benefits," I added. "You've never been into any serious relationship hyung. I mean, you're just after sex then bye."

"Jin I cannot handle a serious one. You know how father handles our lives."

"Your life. Not mine." I often disagree with Jungkook especially about how our father controls our lives. "I will not let him control my life. You chose to live under him. That's your problem."

Jungkook sighs. "You can't escape being a Jeon Jin. Keep that in mind."

"The more I want to hate my last name." I rolled my eyes.

"Jin seriously? I mean, how many times did father beat you just to straight you up and stand by your last name? Aren't you tired?"

"No. I don't understand anything. Why he needs to beat me just because I don't want to follow his orders. His orders are totally non-sense. Learn how to hold a gun, martial arts, self-defense, I mean why? Are we criminals that we need to learn it all? I'm good just being a student. I don't have plans to be his future heir. You're his favorite because he can hold you in his hand. Sorry hyung but I can't be the ideal son that he wants me to be."

"Are you throwing tantrums again just because he wants you to marry Hyunwoo?" He said with a raised eyebrow.

I suddenly remember the lashes that god damn Hyunwoo imprinted on my back. It's still painful, fresh, tender, but I need to pretend to Jungkook that I'm fine. I know what my brother is capable of doing. "I'd rather have father disown me than marry someone like him."

"Jin, I know you like Hyunwoo. Stopped pretending that you don't. Be honest, this is the only order that you like, right?"

I looked at Jungkook. He's right. Somehow, I learned to love Hyunwoo. "I like him but I'm not yet ready to get married. I'm not studying culinary arts just to get married after graduation. I want to be a chef hyung. I want to fulfill that. But Hyunwoo said that right after our wedding, I will stay at home. He doesn't like me to work. Can't you see? All my hard work right now will turn to nothing eventually. Just because I need to fulfill father's orders. He's so manipulative and heartless."

Jungkook stared at me. I know we discussed this before. He knows how much I wanted to be a chef. Father wanted me to take up a business course but I refused to take it just because he wants it. But in the end, he let me take up the course that I really wanted. Provided that I will get married to the son of one of his business partners.

Being the strong-willed person that I am, I agree. In the back of my head, I can run away from this after. Words are just words. I can always back out in the end.

I know how much Hyunwoo likes me, I did not expect to like him too. He is so handsome, hot and well mannered. He is exactly what my father wants for me. A very tough guy and a future successor of his father.

I learned to like him after several dates. He will come to my apartment just to bring flowers, food or coffee. My weakness. In the end, I accepted the truth that he is my boyfriend. Yes, I think I already love him.

But lately, I noticed him being so violent. He hates it when I'm talking to other guys. He always hurt me whenever he saw me with my guy friends. He will come to my apartment just to whip me on my back, ass, and thighs. And that's been going on for a couple of months already.

I don't want to say it to Jungkook because I know that he will kill Hyunwoo once he learned it. I don't want him to do something ridiculous for me. Maybe I am a total brat to my father. Always disobeying his orders but I don't want them, especially my brother, to hurt or kill anyone because of me.
